Directions

1. 1As with any other method, the coffee will be much better if it is ground just before infusion.
2. 2Place the ground coffee on the bottom of a large pitcher or jar.
3. 3Pour 1 liter of cold filtered water over the coffee.
4. 4When the ground coffee beans have risen to the surface (about 10 minutes), mix with a wooden spoon so that all the coffee gets thoroughly wet.
5. 5Cover and brew for 12 to 18 hours.
6. 6The best cold brew straining technique is with filter paper.
7. 7Moisten the filter slightly by running a little bit of water through it.
8. 8Gently pour the coffee in.
9. 9This is a long process.
10. 10The concentrate should be very dark, but neither opaque or blurred.
11. 11Store the concentrate in an airtight container. The coffee brew will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
12. 12Serve to taste. Some people like it diluted with water and ice cream, others directly pour the concentrate on the ice cream.
13. 13This is what I have done by adding a little milk.
14. 14If you are keen on sweetening your iced coffee, it's better to use a liquid sugar, such as agave, maple syrup (which will alter the taste a little bit) or a simple syrup.
